Join DLFNY for our fall kickoff event, a twilight cruise around lower Manhattan. We will hear stories about the rich history of our nighttime city, the iconic neighborhoods, buildings, and bridges that form our skyline view, and learn new perspectives about how we view the urban environment at night. The cruise will cover such icons as the Statue of Liberty, the Brooklyn Bridge and adjacent park, and the city's many iconic spires.

Our guest speaker is Leni Schwendinger. Leni is a published, award-winning, authority on issues of city lighting, with more than 20 years of worldwide experience creating illuminated environments. Her projects focus on nighttime experience in public landscape and infrastructure spaces.

Light dinner fare with beer, wine, and cocktails will accompany a beautiful sunset and educational program.
